SANTA CRUZ
California
Current photos of harbor/entrance
Sailing in Santa Cruz can be awesome! Sailing out to the race area from SCYC is long. There is a narrow channel to exit the harbor (similar to Long Beach, CA) and there are plenty other boats, yachts and commercial fishing vessels, so it is important to pay attention. Once out, the venue is quite open. The coastline geography affects the breeze from certain directions more than you would think. There is local knowledge to be had, so it is worthwhile taking the extra time to track it down. It is a Pacific Ocean venue, so the water is cold!

Westerly (go right as long as you are in pressure). Easterly (varies but often it goes right through the evening then dies), Southerly (frontal wind is shifty and no pattern) then the summer foggy pattern usually pays to the left except when there is a clearing to the right), Northrly (like a shifty lake, no pattern but stay on tack taking you closer to the shore).
